2021

On November 8, 2019, Ottawa Fury FC announced that it had suspended operations. The team had received sanctioning from its country's governing body, Canada Soccer, but was denied by U.S. Soccer and the continental governing body of CONCACAF.[1] Additionally, the 2020 season is the first season without Nashville SC. The club's identity transferred to a Major League Soccer team that started play in 2020.[2]

The season was suspended on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America.[3] On June 4, the league announced a return to play on July 11, 2020.[4]

The playoffs began on October 10, and originally scheduled to conclude with the USL Championship Final on November 1. The Final was then cancelled the day before because several Tampa Bay Rowdies players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. The championship would not be awarded.[5]

Real Monarchs were the defending USL Championship champions, but failed to qualify for the playoffs.

    Not to be confused with the Switchbacks' future home of Weidner Field in downtown Colorado Springs, set to open for the 2021 season. The "Weidner Field" name was officially transferred to the downtown venue on October 15, 2020.

Competition format

The original divisional alignment was announced on December 19, 2019.[11][12][13] The regular season and playoff format was announced on January 9, 2020. The season began on March 6 and was scheduled to conclude on October 17. The 2020 USL Cup Playoffs were expected to begin October 21, and conclude with the final match between November 12–16. The top 10 teams were to make the playoffs in each conference with the same format as in 2019.[14]

Group alignment for resumption of play

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a radical remaking of the competition for 2020. When the season resumed on July 11, the teams were competing in small groups of four or five teams with a geographic component, with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the postseason.[15][16]
